Kingfisher Finally

After numerous failures on hunting for the kingfisher, I made it today!!

I have spotted various species of kingfishers at many places. They fly here and there at Cerok Tokun, "now you see it now you don't" at Perai River bank, and test my patience at the paddy fields near to where I stay.

So how could I let go the rare chance when it was so near to me this time. I discovered this White-throated Kingfisher while I was driving in the village. I pulled over immediately, rolled down the windows and it was virtually mine now.

After some successful shots, I tried to get down from my car, walked nearer, and the trick worked this time. So all those pictures taken earlier inside my car were then kept silently in my hard disk.

My luck was with me this time. This was another one that I had seen later of the day.

The story can never end yet. This one was found waiting for its chance on its prey beside the Perai River bank. This might imply the same to me as well. Anyway, both were happy finally.

By the way, this one belongs to a different species from White-throated Kingfisher.

At the time I made my move, atop of a tree, this kingfisher was telling me good-bye.

"When you come again, I shall fly away. You will get tired and disappoited, I shall have a lot of fun."
